People call GSP boring because he is a tactical fighter, he doesn't get into slugfests very often and he doesn't worry about exhausting himself looking for a KO when he has the dominant position in mount. He prefers to just chip away and tire his opponents, but leaves no room for doubt in the judges' minds.
He is probably the most well-conditioned athlete in the UFC.

This is how you fight smart and extend your career.
I respect him for doing things his way and not the way some of the fans would like.
I think he is a better judge of what he needs to do and how he should do it.

Right, that makes him boring. You're totally welcome to the idea of rationalizing why he's a smart guy, but that's a fallacy in arguing against whether or not he's boring. We're not questioning his tactical abilities. We're questioning if he's boring or not.

He is.

Silva is a very tactical fighter, but still very entertaining to watch.

You are right about it being a tough fight to call, he is going to have to work hard for this victory.

OH MAN. CAN I TOUCH YOU? YOU TALKED TO A PRO FIGHTER?

However, after seeing that I can say that GSP has absolutely NOTHING to offer Silva. It will be another two round beatdown. 1 round of clowning and 1 round of completely demolishing Canadas hopes and dreams.

The main and co-main were the only fights that satisfied my fight fix. Cyrille and Anjos did great don't get me wrong and Sakara's DQ was hilarious. I hope this fight changes minds about Conduit and GSP's fighting. Conduit wasn't running anywhere and GSP was the exact opposite of boring great fight to see.

Tri-Star trainers took Shoto-type Makdessar and, in addition to the standard training necessary for a pro MMA-ruleset fighter, made him a fighter who could give clinics on head-movement worthy of a counterpunching-specialist boxer, as well as maintaining the timing, angles and distancing that are stressed in Shotokan. The result was that Makdessar combined excellent head-movement with the more common variety of Shotokan "elusiveness" (whole-body elusiveness via footwork) for the win.

I lost count of the number of times he snapped Stout's head with those jabs...
